Who Sent the Author Bouquet bat would Net
reveal Her Identity.
II thou, o fair unknown! couldst read my
heart,
Thou wouldst most willingly to me impart
Thy name, so that my feelings could show
And let my gratitude and rapture flow.
But. since thou seest with only mortal eyes,
And cannot penetrate what inward lies,
That which fain would speak but unto thee
Must be revealed to all thy friends who see
This fervent, heartfelt, but yet humble lay.
Acknowledging thy gift--a sweet bouquet.
o! would had poets magic spell,
So that could with flowing language tell
Thee, lady, how my heart with pleasure glow,
Within me; how not cen the crimson rose
Did Ger deeper, richer tint reveal
Than DER my face did exquisitely steal
When the lid with trembling hands did lift
And saw incased within thy pretty gift.
o, lady, "'tis truth the poet sings"
That not for long the scent Of flowers clings
Around, but that, like all things earthly made,
These things are with forgotten idols laid,
But still, though soon shall have lost thy
gift,
In future years Oft shall gently lift
The veil of memory, and / shall, cen then,
Inhale the fragrance of thy plants again. :.
And while this memory lasts, which shall
forever be,
My heart will ever turn, o fair Unknown, to

Accidental Shooting at Potosi.

Last Monday afternoon, at about two
o'clock, Peter Udelover was accidentally
shot and perhaps MORALLY wounded by
Sabastine Casper. Casper was at Udel-
overs house. one-half mile northeast of
Potosi. and was sitting by the stove
working with an old musket. The gun
lock was badly worn, so that the ham,
mer would "slip cock" and Casper
was trying to make it stay cooked. At
last the hammer stood drawn back, and
and he took his thumb off it; but only
for an instant did it remain thus, when
it suddenly fell and discharged the gun.
Udelover's son, Peter, aged 10 or 20.
was standing in the doorway about ten
feet from the muzzle of the gun, and re-
ceived the charge of shot in his bowels.
The load separated, and the shot went
in almost singly. the greatest number
entering the abdomen. A doctor was
summoned, and the young mans father,
who was in Dubuque, was sent for.
After the arrival of the father, Monday
evening. DR.. Artz performed a surgical
operation on the wounded man, finding
five or six of the shots, but there were
probably fifty others that could not be
found. 1t is feared that the bowels are
badly torn, and that death will soon
come to the relief of the sufferer. Cas-
per is a young man about p years old,
and we are informed that he did not
know the gun was loaded. Peter Udel-
over, the wounded man, is a farmer,
and IS unmarried.

1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago Charley Bennett Terrified out
number of men in Waterloo who had
been engaged in robbery and theft. Some
of them he arrested and others made
their escape into Iowa, among them Jim
Kilby who is considered to be the leader
of the marauding gang. Last Friday
Sheriff Dolphin discovered the runaways.
They with their families were camping
and living in three or four tents on new
line Of railroad between Manchester and
Ceder Rapids, and the men were work
ing on the new road. Sheriff Dolphin,
assisted by Sheriff Cruise of Delaware
county Iowa, made raid on the camp
and captured Jim Kilby and James
Greenwood. VIM. Robinson, one of the
offenders wanted, was also there When
our Sheriff went in at the door of the
tent Robinson ''scootedn out under the
back of the canvas, and was chased from
tent to tent until finally, without hat or
coat, he made for the brush. Sheriff
Dolphin shot at him six times with a
revolver, but he did not stop. However,
the next day he came in and gave him.
self up to Sheriff Cruise and has since
been brought here and lodged in the
Grant county Jail together with Kilby
and Greenwood. He stated that his
reason for running was that he had
papers in his possession that he didn't
want any sheriff to see and that he hid
them in the woods. Jim Kilby states
that when Phil. Bennett fired at him,
the evening he made his escape out of
the county, three shot struck him in
the leg without doing much damage.
He complains that Charley ordered Phil.
to shoot without first ordering him
(Kilby) to halt; but there is little room
for complaint on that score as the cir
cumstances must have suggested to him
while running that Charley very much
desired him to stop so that he could
speak with him a moment Yesterday
there were number of curious-looking
characters hanging about the Jail all
day, and they persistently importuned
Sheriff Dolphin to let them in to see
Kilby. Some of them were evidently
seekers after excitement to feed dys-
peptic curiosity, while others may have
had business with Kilby.

ACCIDENTALLY sHor.-Last Sunday

ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.-Last Sunday
Martin M. Gleason, son of Engineer
Walter Gleason, was killed by the ac-
cidental discharge of gun in his own
hands. Martin was boy fifteen years
of age and with his two brothers at
tended to the stock and helped carry on
his fathers farm, four miles west of
town near the Beetown road. Mr..
Gleason is employed on the Wisconsin
Central road and is away most of the
time. On Sunday morning Martin was
to have attended church with his mother
while his older brother remained to look
after the house, but as it threatened
rain and he was afraid of spelling
new suit of clothes, he begged to remain
at home. Accordingly Mrs. Gleason
and younger boy came to church in
town and left him behind. After they
had gone Martin took his gun and in
company with son of Patrick Judge, a
lad of his own age, went out hunting.
In the course of their ramblings they
had come to Henry Adams's place on
Pigeon, and little son of Adams
went out to see the boys. 1t was be-
tween IL and - o'clock. They were
sitting on gate near the house talking.
Martins gun was resting on the ground,
muzzle upward, and it is supposed he
started to raise it up, preparatory to
starting away, and that the hammer
caught discharging the gun. The other
boys who were not looking at him at
the moment, heard a report. Martin
stepped down from the gate, took one
or two steps and fell. He never spoke
again, and in a few minutes was dead.
Several neighbors were summoned and
DIR. Barber was sent for. A number of
people drove out from Lancaster. Upon
their return from church, John Pink
and Matthias Henry went to inform the
mother, who had also just returned, of
the sad accident. An inquest was held
by Justice I. T. BALDWIN, with the fol-
lowing jurors: Ira Bellows, S. r.
Green, Truman Goodrich, Frank Schrein-
or, Harry Nathan, and L. A jackson.
A verdict was returned in accordance
with the facts. 1t was ascertained that
the charge entered the left breast just
above the heart and penetrated the lungs
Death was almost instantaneous. At the
time of the accident the father was at
Oshkosh. He was summoned by tele-
graph but could not get here till Mon
day evening. His brothers, William
and Andrew, Of Galena, with their
families and some other relatives. ar
rived Monday noon. The funeral was
held on Tuesday and was very largely
attended. The parents have the deep
est sympathy of the whole community
